LA550 Serial Matrix Printer
Dependable class-leading performance
The dependable LA550N and LA550W offer class-leading performance. Flat push tractors drive forms
through a straight paper path, resulting in delivery of invoices, shipping bills, labels, and statements time
after time. At up to 750 characters per second and with workloads to 26,000 pages per month, the LA550N
and LA550W are ideal for tough, transaction printing. The LA550N and LA550W can be optionally configured
with up to three input tractors.
From the small 80-column footprint of the LA550N to the 136-column capacity of the LA550W, their rugged
design and quiet operation equip them for the warehouse, the shipping dock or the front desk. Back room
durability combined with front-office 24-wire print quality and a variety of automated performance features
make the LA550N and LA550W a serious solution for demand document pricing.
Versatile Forms Handling
The LA550 printer loads up to three forms at once, using a straight paper path for jam-free operation. You
can load up to 6-part forms on front tractors, and it includes automatic gap adjustment and quick-tear for
ease of use. Plus, our control panels are simple to operate, and the Paper park is designed for easy
switching between forms.
